ABOUT
Filled with encouraging words, astonishing paintings, and questions that invite curiosity, Where Do Possibilities Live? is an exploration of the boundless power of possibilities. Open the pages to discover fantastical scenes—winged elephants, ancient cities perched on the backs of tortoises, and museums where the paintings spring to life. With every turn, this book awakens the explorer, seeker, maker, and adventurer within, asking readers of all ages to believe in their own possibilities—because those possibilities already believe in them.
Yamada’s signature approach of crafting inspiring, easy-to-grasp wisdom comes to life in a whole new way with fine artist Juan Pablo Neira Zúñiga’s dreamlike illustrations. Originally hand painted with oils on canvas, Zúñiga’s intricate scenes follow the adventures of a little girl in her own world of imagination.

You might just notice something new each time you open this book.
Where Do Possibilities Live? is a doorway to a sense of wonder and encourages readers with messages and questions like:
“Possibilities ask you to believe—not just in what you know, but also in what you can dream and help make happen.”
“What experiences do you wish to experience? What dreams do your dreams dream of?”
A curious mind and an open heart are all we need to get started. Now, there are worlds of possibilities waiting to be known. Are you ready?
